red states

States in which large segments of its citizens walk around with their heads up their asses, pulling them out only long enough to burn a cross or make a bigoted statement. Usually vote Republican, even though their populations are comprised largely of individuals living near or below the poverty line and thus unlikely to be favored by Republican tax and fiscal policies.

It would be wonderful if we could get from New York to California without having to cross through any red states.

amnesty international

An hugely respected organization whose sole purpose is to promote and preserve human rights across the globe, which is not blinded by idealogical barriers -- they go after right- and left-leaning dictatorships equally -- and which does not compromise itself by casting its lot with corporations, governments or elected officials.

History has found Amnesty International to be on the right side of nearly every international crisis.

linda ronstadt

A singer whose voice is more powerful than a sonic boom and more beautiful than an angel choir. Can sing rock and roll, showtunes, country, r&b and pop with equal precision, making each song her own.

Is there anything tha Linda Ronstadt CAN'T sing? Probably not.

Hee-Haw

A hillbilly variety show, which aired from 1969 - '91, first on CBS, and later in syndication. Famous for reinforcing the most negative, backwards aspects of country music, as well as the world's largest succession of thoroughly unfunny jokes, not to mention a smattering of gingham-clad T&A.

Convicted criminals should be sentenced to watching "Hee-Haw"
